​

The Group Purpose is implemented by the Executive Assembly Committee. The Executive Assembly Committee represents the Group in the general election as electoral and list candidates and will work as per the Proposal for Peaceful Restructuring of the governing roles in New Zealand.

​

The Group Rules are administered by the Executive Committee.

​​​​​​​​​

The Group Rules are enforced by the Judiciary Committee.

​​

The following general points apply to the proposed peaceful restructure:

​​

• An Officer may serve no more than one of the Executive Assembly, the Executive, and the Judiciary.

• All powers are separated in governance, that is, no person, group, class or set of persons, has more power than any other person, group, class or set of persons, to propose or vote on changes to legislation.

• No person, or group of persons, has power to exclude any other person, or group of persons, from participating in governance to the extent that the first person or group participates in governance.

• Any person, or group of persons, may have a draft proposal for a change to legislation considered as it was intended by the person, or group of persons, who submitted the draft proposal​
